The wayland server has to know how the windows stack but the clients are not trusted to tell it how the windows should stack so either the server has to figure that out by itself or a separate privileged component (eg. a proxy or a plugin or attached process of some sort) would need to decide that. I thought that it would make sense to determine what policy needs to be decided by this manager and add protocol for it in Wayland even if the default implementation will just grant every request an application ever makes. When I asked about that it was not outright rejected but there was nobody else who though putting some structure into Wayland would be of any use. I guess this will be considered only after Wayland evolves so many warts as X has and putting some sanity in the protocol will be impossible at that point for reasons of backward compatibility and whatnot.
